After adding:
gttest_LDADD=-lintl
to Makefile.am
and installing the latest cygwin gettext and libintl packages:
gettext-0.10.40-1
libintl1-0.10.40-1
libintl-0.10.38-3
All three "configurations" worked fine.
sh auto.sh
./configure
make
make clean
./configure --with-included-gettext
make
make clean
./configure --disable-nls
make
(However, I don't think that "gttest.c" is setup up for "--disable-nls"
to have any effect. gttest.o still has symbols "bindtextdomain",
"textdomain", and "gettext". However, since my change to the
makefile.am adds -lintl regardless, this "configuration" still built
successfully.)
So, some progress, anyway.
